Brush Blankets® are the world's most highly rated silviculture mulch according to an independent study conducted by the USDA Forestry Service. We came in #1 by a wide margin in every category of the test, which included measurements of durability in addition to the mulch's contribution to tree survival and growth. |

Blankets®are
a photo selective
polyethylene film that blocks the blue/green portions of the light spectrum
that enable photosynthesis. This starves competing vegetation and none
will survive under the mulch. Brush Blankets® transfer the
heat generated from sunlight to the soil instead of absorbing it into
the mulch. This not only prevents heat damage to the root collar in the
contact area with the mulch, it also maintains the soil temperature in
the optimum range for seedling growth. Brush Blankets® are micro-perforated to allow the transfer of water and air that are critical to tree survival and growth. The correct placement of the mulch can create an idealized local environment by channeling rain water towards the tree. Brush Blankets® also retain soil moisture, retarding evaporation by up to 85%. All three sizes
of Brush Blankets® come pre-packaged in our custom
